Hello, I am writing this for my dear friend Laurie who lost her son unexpectedly on Saturday, January 8th. Daniel was the victim of a tragic and violent crime, and his family needs our help with funeral costs.

Daniel was a vibrant and loving 19 year old who had a love for animals and a passion for taking care of others (helping feed the homeless with family and considering going to college to become a teacher after being inspired by his mom and her love of teaching). He was working at Home Depot since graduating from Springfield HS in Spring of 2021.

Daniel loved baseball and playing the piano. He spent most of his free time hanging out with friends, many of whom he created hip hop videos with (on Instagram), working out at the gym with his brother, or creating memories with his high school sweetheart/girlfriend of 5years.

Never lacking a smile, Daniel was a loyal & compassionate person who's life was tragically cut short by gun violence that had nothing to do with him directly. He is survived by his mother Laurie, siblings Noah and Dolores (X), and stepfather Frank.

The family is devasted by Daniel's passing and are struggling to find the funds to cover the cost of the funeral service. Please join me in helping his family give him a proper funeral by donating what you can afford. Amything would be greatly appreciated by all.

Thank you in advance,

Kristen Roberts
